Jorge Luís Cantú Guzmán (born January 30, 1982) is an American-born Mexican former professional baseball infielder.

He was born in McAllen, Texas and went to Sharyland High School, but was raised and makes his home in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico.

[1][2] Cantú was spotted by a scout while playing in a Junior Olympic tournament in Mexico City while in high school, and offered a contract with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at age 16.

Cantú was a valuable young player for the rebuilding Devil Rays, who finished last in the American League that season.

[3] However, on the April 4, 2007, edition of ESPN's Baseball Tonight, Cantú retracted his trade demand and said he would voluntarily report to Durham.

On July 28, 2007, Cantú was traded to the Cincinnati Reds along with minor league outfielder Shaun Cumberland for pitchers Brian Shackelford and Calvin Medlock.

On January 4, 2008, the Florida Marlins signed Cantú to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

On March 22, Jose Castillo was claimed off waivers by the San Francisco Giants, opening the door for a possible roster spot for Cantú.

On July 29, 2010, Cantú was dealt to the Texas Rangers (with $600,000 cash) for Evan Reed and Omar Poveda.

However, on September 25, he got his first RBI, and later his first home run, the latter giving his team a 4–3 lead, which turned out to be the final score, clinching the Rangers' their first divisional title since 1999.

[12] He played in 30 games for the Colorado Springs Sky Sox but was never called up to the Majors and elected free agency on November 2, 2011.

He fell on harder times in 2022, slumping to a .192/.236/.258 line with 1 home run and 8 RBI in an abbreviated stint of 23 games with the team.
